Teacher Retention Strategies: An overview from the northeast region REL

This report from the northeast region REL provides a description of the Compendium of Strategies to Reduce Teacher Turnover in the Northeast and Islands Region, a searchable database of selected profiles of retention strategies implemented in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and Vermont. The Compendium is not a complete inventory of teacher retention policies and programs in these states but a sample that offers an overview of the range of interventions that have been implemented. The Compendium includes contact information to policy and program experts, allowing questions to be asked relevant to the decisionmakers’ work and context. A guide to searching the database is appended.
